I was wondering what are the different types of soils?
Soil types are commonly classified based on texture, which is a measure of the relative proportions of sand, silt, and clay particles. The three main soil textures are sandy, loamy, and clayey. Sandy soils have larger particles and lower water-holding capacity, making them well- draining. Loamy soils have a mix of sand, silt, and clay particles, making them well-draining and fertile, while clayey soils have a higher proportion of clay particles and lower water-holding capacity.
